“THIS IS NOT ART” by Svynx

SVYNX, a captivating duo hailing from Cologne, brings a fresh perspective to the music scene by blurring the lines between progressive rock, pop, and groovy rhythms. Their sound effortlessly weaves together complex time signatures with catchy melodies that appeal to both seasoned musicians and casual listeners. The duo’s adventurous spirit is evident in their willingness to experiment with unconventional structures, all while maintaining a solid, accessible groove. SVYNX’s ability to balance technical complexity with listener-friendly vibes sets them apart in today’s crowded music landscape.


Debut album, *This Is Not Art*, offers a thought-provoking reflection on the state of the world during and after the pandemic. Drawing from the initial optimism that society might change for the better, the album transitions into the disappointment that came as the pandemic dragged on, exposing deep social and economic crises. The lyrical content resonates with listeners, capturing the tension between hope and disillusionment. The band's music, much like the themes they explore, is a blend of optimism tempered with harsh reality a sonic journey that mirrors the complexities of our time.



As a duo, SVYNX infuses their love for odd meters and intricate rhythms into their songs, creating a distinct sound that feels both fresh and timeless. This is particularly impressive for a debut release. Despite their affinity for complexity, they manage to make their music groove in a way that even non-musicians can appreciate, showcasing their unique talent for blending accessibility with depth. Their first album is a testament to their commitment to pushing the boundaries of rock and pop, while still remaining grounded in melody and rhythm.


Though they’ve already made strides in getting their music out there, including three music videos and a visualizer, SVYNX’s journey is just beginning. Having recorded, mixed, and mastered the album themselves with the help of friends, they’re now reaching out for support to share their hard work with the world. With a DIY ethos and a belief in the power of their music, SVYNX is eager to bring their seven carefully crafted tracks to a broader audience, convinced that what they’ve created is something truly special.
